Lagangarbh 22-24 April
A great weekend of good weather. Dinner at the Kingshouse on
Saturday was tasty and a convivial atmosphere was enjoyed - the popular dish was
venison pie.
Clear skies, sunshine and a steady breeze on Saturday had
Ed, Scuz and Robert doing the ‘full’ Aonach Eagach from Lagangarbh to the
Clachaig, incorporating the Devil’s Staircase and the Pap of Glencoe. Donald
went up Buachaille Etive Mor, to discover the descent into the valley was
impassable with compact snow, so continued to the far end of the ridge for the
return to the hut. The climbers were also on the Buachaille, Charlie and Neil started
up North Face Route to climb Hiccup; Ewan and Mark did January Jigsaw and
Agag’s Groove on the Rannoch Wall.
On Sunday, Scuz and Ed scrambled Sron an Lairig on Stob Coire
Sgreamhach and descended the Lost Valley. Robert and Donald ticked the Corbett,
Beinn a’ Chrulaiste. The climbers were at Glen Etive with Mark and Ewan
ascending the Spartan Slab. A very warm and sunny day.
